Wow. I posted quite a bit in this thread way back...think that I accumulated most of my HT forum posts in it... Just got back from a week at the beach - nothing better than the Ocean waves and a cold one to enjoy. I was on a kick of Negra Modelo this past week...very good beach beer...

I plan on picking up a copy of Angela's Ashes for s summer read...I was vaguely familar with Frank McCourt's work, but didn't realize his background at all until yesterday. Mike Greenburg from ESPN radio's Mike & Mike spoke very fondly of him - before he was as Pulitzer prize winning author, he...

Thanks for the follow-up...I plan on "turning-off" the network system tray icons - figured out how to go about that. I have access to Office at a very, very reasonable price throught my wife's company. We installed 2007 on our home PC and I planned to do the same for the netbook - actually...

Just a quick update....got the ASUS 1005HA-P yesterday. Happy with it so far. Used it for awile last night - I didn't really have any issues with the keyboard typing and the touchpad was good too... Took a couple of minutes and up'd the RAM to 2GB. Need to dump off some of the add-ons that...

Hi. I took a look at a few of these recently and settled on the Asus 1005HA. The -P model. There are 3 floating around out there. Best Buy sells the -B which only includes a 3 cell battery and the N270 atom processor. Only $299 There's a mid grade model for about $339 with a 6 cell...

City of Champions - Pittsburgh, PA - SkyscraperPage Forum Here's a link to a thread with some good parade photos... As far as the Steelers go - I here you. The Chief probably took a couples of turns. I think that the downside of the Steelers parade was that it was in February - in...

Thanks Bob... I saw a couple of nice threads on-line with some good parade photos...will have to post a link... From my Mom's report it was pretty packed - she did manage to see some of the players and wandered over and watched the post parade speeches on the jumbotron... Looks like the...

Hey Bob and all the other Hockey lovers! I am still alive after the exciting game 7 finish...I started to post Saturday AM before my kiddos got up, but got sidetracked and never got a chance! Man, what an exciting game...loved every minute of it...to show you how different my wife and I...

Getting closer to the drop of the puck! Can't wait for tonight...just spoke with a buddy of mine who shares my love of the Pens.... Why are we nervous? We're not playing. Our life doesn't change with a win...but in terms of being invested in the outcome, not directly, but geez, these playoffs...

That was fun to watch...I a very happy Pens fan going to bed last night... Now if the Pens can bottle some of that and take it with them to Detroit, it will be a good thing. Games 1 and 2 weren't too bad for the Pens - wrong side of the score sheet. Don't need to say anything about game 5...

There are a few things that come to mind... Senior year of high school, there was an "class day" assembly on the day of the prom. We as seniors went to the program, the school gave out awards and scholarships and we were dismissed for the remainder of the day. Buddies and I went golfing, lit...

Yiikes...that was a mess. I really didn't expect that type of melt down from the Pens...it really got ugly fast and completely out of hand. Pretty disappointed is all I can say. Turned it off at the request of my wife when it got to 5-0 and the Wings scored 3 straight PP goals. Lack of...

Funny how sports fans are - I agree 100 percent with you. We'll have to box each out other out though if we ever get together for a game. I too have that same habit of parking myself standing in front of the tube. I didn't last night because my Mother-in-law was watching the game with me - but...

Sure hope it isn't a repeat of last year as the results of the games thus far have been! Pens absolutely need to win this tonight - think even more than the Wings. Pens win, big boost in confidence going back to Detriot for game 5. Wings can play the home ice card, should win at home, etc. Wings...

One game at a time...haven't posted in a couple days...has pretty grumpy the over the weekend, especially after Sunday night. Didn't see the whole Malkin thing until late Monday when I watched it on my DVR. Missed it dealing with a sick kid. That being said - Talbot took poke at Osgood, who...

I totally agree - even as a Pens fan, I am less than thrilled with the schedule. The back to back games and the 3 in 4 days is pretty tough. Pens did that once this Cup run already in the Washington series. In that case, they traveled from PGH at the end of game 4 on Friday and played game 5 in...

Get the local paper - Richmond Times-Dispatch delivered 7 days a week. Habit from growing up, I guess. My Dad reads the PGH Post-Gazette front to back and gets ticked when my Mom takes the papers down before he finished. He was reading Wednesday on Saturday the other day. I am not that...

It was a fun game to watch - caught the entire third period and the OT. The save on Franzen at the end of reg. time by Huet was pretty wild. He did kick up his leg on purpose while prone on his belly. Detroit just had too much fire power in the OT and Helm was left alone beside the net to stuff...

Interesting question... I don't think how big the house is, it's really a question of is the space useful to you. I grew up in the same house that my Dad did - about 1300 sqft with a 3 bedrooms, single bath room. Built in 1940. My folks finished the basement and added a bathroom down...

Yippee. Return to the Stanley Cup Finals for the Pens... Paraphrasing Mike Lange said last night "Spit shine your shoes Mabel, we're going dancing for the Stanley Cup!" Love Mike Lange's calls of the game..."He beat him like a rented mule!" "Scratch my back with a hacksaw" "Call Arnold Slick...

Let's not count the chickens before they hatch - while the foregone conclusion is that both the Redwings and Penguins will advance, I don't want to get too caught up in the speculation of it all...jsut being a paranoid fan. Pens need to finish the Canes at the RBC tonight. Keep it floored and...

Well. Pens continue to Roll! Malkin picks up 2 goals and an assist...Crosby has a ho hum goal and assist night... Common theme for me...keep the pedal to the metal and close them out in 4 at the RBC! Pens need to keep up and continue to improve their D work...the pass that Malkin hit...

Geno - Geno - Geno! Hat trick for Malkin! Wow. His third goal was just sick...the Pens say it was a set play off the faceoff, but I don't know. Just awesome individual effort on his part...His parents have become quite the celebs in the crowd at the games - High Fives and Hugs all around for...

Watched the OT in last night's Wings v. Hawks game - what a backbreaker for the young Blackhawks... Had a couple of chances and bam - it's a 3 on 1 break for the Wings and the shot is buried. Wings up 2-0 in an instant... Hope that the Pens have the same result and can head to Carolina...

As a Pen's fan, I agree 100 percent. Cam Ward made some fantastic saves last night. It's always fun playing this stats game...I saw last night that Mark Andre Fleury is now 5-0 in playoff game 1 of a series at home... Up until Game 6 of the Caps series, he was 4-0 in playoff game OT...

Wow...that was an exciting Game 1. Who would have thought that pivotal goals would have been scored by Satan and Boucher - with Boucher picking up the PP winner! Malkin's goal was sweet backhander - what placement to get it through! The last couple minutes were full of furious action - the...

Geez...Redwings look very tough again in the WCF...nice 5-2 winner yesterday... As for the most important series - for me at least - I see the Pens being able to continue their excellent play of late - Crosby looks to be on a mission - to quote a favorite movie maybe a "mission from God"...

The Pens v. Canes series in the ECF should be fun - Staal v. Staal. Think that Eric is certainly better than Jordan right now...Cam Ward is outplaying Fleury...Pens need to keep the same approach that they have had since Bylsma took over. Looking forward to it. WCF should be a good matchup as...

Yowzer! Didn't expect the 6-2 drubbing that was witnessed there! I watched first period with my 4 month old girl asleep in my arms - keeps me a bit calmer that way while my wife was handling our soon to be 3 son. Was very happy with the 2-0 lead going into the 1st intermission. Huge goal by...

Word on the PG website is that Gonchar skated at the game day skate with little apparent issues on both the PP unit and along with regular defensive partner Brooks Orpik. Would love to see him out their heading up the point on the PP and get the rush up ice starting...let's hope he plays...
